When you combine moe, cards, and the internet, you get Sword Girls - Zeonix's new online card battle game. There are hundreds of pieces of anime artwork to swoon over. If Magic: the Gathering was high school, this is definitely a frat party.
First it was solving a complex protein puzzle related to the HIV virus, and this time it is the 40,000 registered users of the game Planet Hunters who have identified 69 potential new planets and two very strong candidate planets outside the Earth's solar system. We think we see a new trend in the making.
With the dissapointment of there being no iPhone 5, can you at least give me the skinny on a possible Xbox 720? Nope. However, rumors say a lot of developers are already moving their development efforts to Microsoft's new console.

News of an anticipated GameStop gaming tablet makes me wonder when the tablet craze is going to check itself at the door and realize that tablets for the sake of tablets are a waste of time. I really don't see scores of gamers running our to buy a dedicated gaming tablet when most of us already own iPhones and iPads that have a plethora of digital content to quench our collective gaming thirst. How much clunk am I realistically going to carry around every day?
It seems smart phone manufacturer Apple has allowed the release of a game that teaches the user about the social and ethical perils of purchasing a smart phone. Kudos to the world's #1 company for not censoring anti-smart phone propoganda, but tisk tisk for ruining our beaitufl Mother Earth... *sigh*
